1. Differentiated Instruction
Learning Styles
Multiple Intelligences
What Can Be Differentiated
Using Technology

2. Differentiated Instruction:

3. Identifying the Intelligences
• Verbal (Written or Auditory)
• Kinesthetic
• Spatial Relational
• Mathematical/ Logical
• Interpersonal
• Intrapersonal
• Natural
• Musical

4. Let’s talk about the Activity.
• Which Station matches which Intelligence?
• Do you know your primary Intelligence/
intelligences?
• Have you done a formal assessment
before?
• Were there any surprises about the (types
of) Intelligences?
• Have you done activities like this before?

5. Learning Styles/ Modes of Learning
• Visual, Auditory, Tactile
• Which activity relates or asked you to use
this mode in the activity stations?

6. What is Differentiated Instruction?
SIMPLY:
• Tailoring Instruction to meet individual
needs.
• What does that look like?

8. Teachers can differentiate at least
4 different areas based on students
• Content
• Process
• Products
• Learning Environment

9. Content: What the Student Needs
to Learn/ How they will get the
information
• Teaching to each student: reading level,
age appropriateness, presentation style,
using constructivist, situationist, cognitive,
behavioral

10. Process: Activities of Engagement
to Master the Content
• Activities: Creating activities that exist at
varying levels of complexity and skill set;
creating choice through interests centers/
stations; Agendas (action points); Object
Lessons and Manipulatives; time
allowances

11. Products: Culminating Projects that
ask the student to Rehearse, Apply
and Extend
• Giving students options for presentations
• Using Rubrics that match student skill
level
• Allowing students to work alone or group
work
• Fulfillment of assignments not specifically
defined (using key factors)

12. Learning Environment: The way the
Classroom/ Learning space works
and feels
• Quiet and collaborative spaces/ and times
• Respecting cultures/ families
• Setting out guidelines for independent
work
• Developing routines for helping students
• Helping learners understand each other’s
learning styles

13. Technology
How can technology be used to create a
differentiated classroom?
• Content/ Process/ Products/ Learning
Environment
• Using TV in the Classroom
• Webinars
• Social Networking (Educational Focus)
• Computer Scaffolding

14. Merits of Differentiation
• How can differentiated instruction be
valuable in the classroom?
• Is this valuable for ALL students?
• Will/ do students value differentiation?
• Does differentiation change based on
assessment method?
